river of brakelights

Julian Casablancas

We might be in for a late night
Stuck in a lava flow of brakelights
I can hear a rattling bass drum
Driving back to where it came from

Sit back, Oh
I shop therefore I am the cause
Protect me from what I was

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Timing is everything, timing is everything

I'm at yourfett where creditor meet
Who'll show me a super night crossing roads or highways
In the afterlife of supercities, gravity devouring its outskirts
It's me along octopus arms, redecorating late at night

Robot time for kids who hate sports
Mothers crying at the airport
Finding the dreams you left behind to do
Waving goodbye your young heart cries for you

Stand back, Oh
You're finding it hard to get very far
We were born waiting in line
Grabbing the future by the eyes

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, timing is everything
Timing the hang of it, getting is everything
Getting the time of it, everything hangs on this
Hanging the getting of, timing of everything

Like Batteries we die
Like rivers we dry
Refuel and recharge like humans and cars
My Fault, my soul, be my homeward bound
Where did you go, you were my ride home
Is That what we want?
Is everything shot?
Is that what you ask for?
Cause that's what we got

Life is destined
Life is destined
